season 1 episode 4 all of the scenes out in the woods with my family. it was just HOURS away from where i live, i had to wake up at 1am to get to work, i was SO HOT in the like 10 layers of clothes, they had to install a cooling system underneath to regulate my body tempurature, my wig was itching, my contacts were so dry they were sticking to the back of my eyelids, my skin was breaking out underneath the prosthetics, i was still trying to figure out how to use the voice, and then i had to get emotional when my brother died i started crying partly because i was sad about the death but also because i was just going through so much physically lol

in the future literally no one cares who and how you love. like whether you love a guy, girl, nonbinary, or trans person, or if you're in a monogamous, or polyamorous relationship... its not a big deal like it is now in the 21st century. in the future, As long as you are being true to yourself and you're not harming yourself or others, literally no one cares lol. It just is. that's why i love on the show its just presented naturally, there's no big moment about it, it just exists and that's it. a triad house is completely a non-issue and no one even bats an eyelash at it.

the challenging part for me has not been the criticism. that will ALWAYS exist, no matter what role I decide to take. Plus, all of my social media accounts have been FLOODED with love from fans, its been overwhelming! Instagram, tik tok, threads, facebook, millions of clicks, THOUSANDS of comments and messages from people who are excited about my character. So it's a bit tough to focus on any negativity when there is so much positivity. The CHALLENGING part for me was just transforming into the character in the first place. The prosthetics took 4-5 hours a day, 18-20 hour shoot days, learning how to do the voice... now that was the challenging part. but ultimately I am proud of the character that we created and i genuinely believe gene roddenberry would be too. even his son, rod roddenberry came to set one day and offered his support that was really cool!

i wanna work with James Gunn real bad lol. I think I'd do a phenomenal job at playing Cyborg, i hear they are making a new teen titans movie. BUT i grew up on Marvel, i am a HUGE x men nerd. I would take ANY role in the new x men universe. I've watched all the movies multiple times, watched all the cartoons, x men 97 is one of my favorite shows on television, read the comics... like... IM PREPARED!! I hope my time in the star trek universe primes me to become a bad ass superhero in the future

i wish i had an elegant answer for this but i honestly just hop into it. most of my preparation happens far before i even get to set. i spend hours memorizing lines, practicing my deep voice, reading scripts, etc. As soon as i get to set all of the work has already been done.
